I'm starting to get really worried about these skin issues I've been having. My skin's been super itchy, and I'm dealing with these reddish, swollen patches on my hands and feet. It's got this burning sensation, plus the redness has spread to my palms, making it hard and painful to even close my hands. I was given an injection and have been taking Allegra 180, Atarax 10mg, and Zincovit, along with using Lactamine Lotion, but nothing's really helping. Can you suggest any blood tests I should get to figure out what's going on?

I'm really concerned about my wife. For the last 23 days, she's had this red rash with a black spot on her hand. It doesnt seem to itch until she actually starts scratching it. It's odd because it's only on one hand. I've attached a photo. Could someone help me figure out what this might be?

It appears that your wife may be experiencing a contact dermatitis with a secondary infection. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent further infection. Additionally, she can take an antihistamine like Benadryl to help with any itching. Make sure to clean the area gently with mild soap and water before applying the ointment. If the rash persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm dealing with this ring guard on my skin, and it's starting to spread to the lower part of my body. I'm really worried about it. Here are some pictures. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

You may have a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help with the healing process. If the infection does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit worried about my hair loss. I've been using minoxidil 5% for quite a few years now, but the results have been pretty disappointing. I recently came across this new dutamax lotion that has dutasteride in it. Do you think it's safe or effective to use it on my scalp?
